Yeah, this was excellent for 4G prices (I'm paying $8/mo for 40 GB), but now telecom companies are wary of installing 5G infrastructure, because they are forced to share it with other service providers who did not have to invest millions in new 5G infrastructure.

Bash Bonus #2:

   seq 1 10 | xargs -n 1 ./go-grab-xkcd -s -n

Lately I've started to use Perl instead of sed for replacing text. Its regex support is much better IMO:

  cat a.txt | perl -pe 's/banana-(\d)/papaya-$1/g'

Or in-place:

  perl -i -pe 's/banana-(\d)/papaya-$1/g' a.txt

Personally I like parallel better because of the `--bar` option and `{}`, `{.}`, `{/}` and `{/.}`. And I usually just use it with `-P 1` anyway.

Also for me. Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Google Photos just load forever. Android 8.1.

So what does viable mean?

I usually replace cat with pv and gets a nice progress bar and ETA :-)

Done.

It's pretty hard because of the source data. I'll see what I can do about dividing search results into food categories.

Thanks for your feedback.

Done. :-)

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll do this. :-)

Cool!

The data was taken from http://www.diogenes-eu.org/GI-Database/Default.htm (https://github.com/assafmo/gl-calc/tree/master/src_data)

Weird, pasta is in the database. What happened to you is probably the slowness of the search. The database is loaded entirely to the client and searches are done in memory.

Right now it's pretty jumpy even on high-end hardware. I need to fix this.

Thanks for your feedback! I'll address this.

tshark always hogs my RAM and eventually crashes on > 4GB pcaps. I'd love to have a solution for this.

When breaking a pipe into two lines, I find it cleaner to end the first line with pipe instead of backslash. Then I indent the second line. Bash knows a command cannot end with pipe, therefore it's syntactically ok.

E.g.

  cmd1 |
    cmd2

Instead of:

  cmd1 \
    | cmd2

Thanks! I missed this. Fixed. :-)
